ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FOR SP3300-20-Q-0022

[1]. May our installer use one of DLA's lifts for the installs? – No. The batteries should be sent via carrier to our facility. DLA will off load and install all of the batteries.

[2]. Does DLA want all the lifts (installs) done at one time or will the installation be spread over several visits? If multiple visits how many visits? – DLA will handle all of the installs.

[3]. Are all of the batteries going into lifts as soon as they arrive or will some be placed in storage so installation is not required? – Installation is not required from the vendor.

[4]. How many lifts/Cushmans are involved in the change out? – N/A. DLA will handle the installs.

[5]. Are all of the lifts and Cushmans in one place on the base? – N/A. DLA will handle the installs

[6]. What does DLA want us to do with the scrap/replaced batteries? – DLA will be turning the batteries in to the local on-base recycler. There is no need for the contractor to deal with recycling the batteries.

[7]. Please clarify the term “Waterless.” – Waterless in this Combined synopsis/solicitation means "Watered Less." Batteries that require watering every few months is acceptable. "Waterless" does NOT mean 100% maintenance free batteries.

[8]. There are manufacturers that produce batteries named “Waterless” which requires watering only 4 to 6 times per year. These batteries are watered less frequently than a normal battery, but they do still require water. Is this type of battery acceptable? – YES

[9]. There are maintenance free batteries called “waterless” that never require water to be added. Is this what DLA is looking for? – NO

[10]. The RFQ states "waterless" batteries. Does that mean sealed batteries that are never watered (usually Gel type) or batteries that are watered "less" than a typical flooded battery (every 3-4 months rather than daily)? – DLA is requesting batteries that are watered less than typical batteries. Batteries that require watering every few months is acceptable.

[9]. For the golf cart "Cushman" type batteries, can the batteries be equal to or do they have to be that specific battery? – Batteries that are equal to the requested brand(s) are acceptable; however, the size must meet the EXACT measurements as stated in the Schedule of Supplies.

A. The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions. See Page 2.
